The clearest finding of both groups was that villagers had absolutely no confidence in either the Government or any Government services or officials, and only wished that they would never have to meet or deal with a civil servant.

There was a lack of comparative analyses between a water- based transport system and one based on roads, or whether local communities could be empowered in their own development.
